Press Release Summary: Demand Driven Supply Chain Adds to Streamline the Security
Process According to Manufacturing Journalist Thomas R. Cutler

Press Release Body: Datacraft Solutions (www.datacraftsolutions.com) delivers a
revolutionary digital kanban process of automation solutions to lean manufacturers
through a secure Internet gateway, eliminating the need to install and maintain a
complex IT infrastructure. The company has experienced significant growth in the
past two years by eliminating complicated, expensive, time-intensive software
implementations as well as extensive training regiments and the need for internal
support. The Datacraft Solutions\' replenishment supply chain digital kanban lean
system allows customers access and fully utilize powerful lean benefits immediately
for a low, predictable monthly fee; services are scalable so manufacturers can
design an appropriate solution.


The new feature article in the current issue of The Machinist authored by
manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler is titled: "Streamline the security
processes." Cutler discusses how technology solutions can guard malevolent data
tampering and in due course smoothen the data to work impeccably. Here both the
principles of security and safety play a significant role and are to be seen as part
of a lean manufacturing continued process improvement program.

According to Cutler, "Other aspects of internal data security include elements of a
demand driven supply chain. Stephen Parker, CEO of Datacraft Solutions notes, "To
ensure security, data must be working seamlessly with existing visual board systems.
Digital kanban solutions allow individual cells or entire supply chains to realize
an immediate and dramatic return from an extremely small process automation
investment, by vastly reducing the management time."

Routine, repetitive tasks are automated, and exceptions are instantly highlighted in
this highly secure 'Software as a Solution' (SaaS) model, so that managers can focus
their time and skills on responding to and eliminating problems before they reach
the plant floor. On-demand Internet-based delivery platform further streamlines the
process by eliminating the cumbersome, time-consuming and costly implementation
required to integrate new hardware and software into an IT infrastructure. Parker
noted that the security of the data is impeccable: "We host all the data at our data
center. We have a server farm with 100 per cent redundancy and three OC3 lines. Our
data is 99.999 per cent secure, and our clients have never experienced down time,
thanks to a multiple UPS power backup system and 900 kw diesel caterpillar
generator. We also have biometric scanners for data center security."
